Real Superheroes Don't Wear Capes, but Fashionistas Do

Isn't it always any child's dream to become a superhero? I always thought it would be pretty neat to be cat woman, or someone pretty bad ass like that. Too bad I can't actually kick anyone's butt. Well, the closest thing I can get to being a superhero is this MINKPINK Tail Em Up Long Back blouse, which I have dubbed my cape.

If I were any shorter, the drapage at the back of this blouse would totally touch the floor. Good thing I'm of above average height. WIN. Mullet skirts (sorry, I mean "assymmetrical", but not really) are in, so why not mullet blouses? I can see myself wearing this on top of some jean shorts at the beach, with the wind blowing and my cape trailing behind me. Sad the weather won't let me wear something like this now.

Did you see how fast the clouds were moving today??

Review: Banana Republic Tall Classic Trench

Remember that deal I posted a while back? Well, since I'm feeling less gimpy today I decided to do my long-overdue review for the Banana Republic Tall Classic Trench in XS. I'll be comparing it to the Massimo Dutti trench I bought in Barcelona, which I wrote about here and seen here. To gain more perspective about how this fits on my body, my measurements are listed here.

At first glance: 

Even though I got the smallest size possible (XS), I find that the sizes at BR still fit quite large- vanity sizing fail. It fits quite roomy on me, definitely with enough leeway to wear a large sweater and blazer underneath. But one thing is for sure, the sleeve length is more than suitable even for my long arms, and the waist-belt (for once!) was right at my waist. The shoulders are a PERFECT fit, and the coat hits at a conservative length, just above my knee.

What! More Red? J Brand Twill Skinnies

I promised you I'd show you the new red pieces in my wardrobe yesterday, so here's the second item! J Brand Red Twill Skinnies! These aren't really new per se... they actually used to be Emi's - but they're mine now! They were a bit too big for her but they're perfect for my butt!

I wore this outfit out to Matsuyama for dinner with Ricky the other day. He dropped me off to get a table first while he went to look for a parking spot, so I went to the host and asked for a seat for 2. The usual host nodded and said, "Okay, 2". However...

Vintage1 Moto Jeans

It seems like I haven't worn jeans in forever... and when I looked at my denim this morning, I instinctively chose these moto ones because they are one of my favourites. Moto jeans were really popular back in 2010, and I have 3 pairs in my premium denim collection. There are noticeable stitch lines across the knees and to the back of the knee to emulate the pants and jackets bikers wear. I love this detailing, as well as the zips on the inside of the ankle. Styling these moto jeans with the MCQ skull scarf really brings out the Hell's Angel in me, haha ;)

I went to a birthday dinner tonight at Joey's and had a great time :) Lovely people, lovely atmosphere~
What I love about Joey's is the gigantic wash rooms. Perfect for cam whoring <3
